The team at Endurance Sports TV is exploring what it is to be an ultra athlete tackling a multi-day event. Taking in the three-day Coast Ultra Xtreme around the Cornish coastline of southern England, a new documentary ‘The Ultra Mindset’ has been released.
The new TV programme created by Ross Brackley, exclusively for Endurance Sports TV, follows the leading athletes at the event, which was raced in October and formed part of the Atlantic Coast Challenge by VOTWO Events. The also explores the athletes’ ‘reasons, motivations and mindset for taking on such an epic challenge.’
“With so many ultra events cancelled with Covid around the world, this was an event developed to give frustrated athletes the chance to take on an ultra-challenge here in the UK,” said filmmaker Ross Brackley.
“Not only was it an opportunity for athletes to challenge themselves against the stunning Cornish coastline backdrop, but it also gave us a window into mind of the runners – some of whom were new faces to the sport, names to keep an eye on in the future!”
The event was to see newcomers to multi day racing Julia Davis and Ry Webb take victory over the 80-mile course with over 5000m of vertical ascent, across trail, sand, dunes, boulders and water crossings.
One of the event organisers’, Ben Mason, said “Thanks to everyone who came together to make this happen. The event was a huge success. It takes a strong body and mind to take on an 80-mile challenge, in such a challenging year. Hats off to the team at Endurance Sports TV for giving such a special insight into the ‘ultra mindset’ through this amazing new documentary.”
The new documentary ‘The Ultra Mindset’ is available from Wednesday 18th November.
